Angels We Have Heard on High Jesus’ entrance into this world was the most humble yet the most glorified birth in human history. Humble in the sense that he was born in a room full of farm animals, that his parents were Jewish with little social status and that the city he was born in was small and unimportant to the world’s politics at the time. Yet, his birth radiated glory! It was revealed to shepherds in a field by angels declaring, “Glory to God in the highest” (Luke 2:14). The glory was so bright, the shepherds went to find the source (Luke 2:15). And later, many others would do the same. It is a lesson we learn every Christmas: the God of the universe came the earth in such humility that, aside from the angels declaring his name from the heavens, he arrived almost unnoticed. Jesus entered the earth in the same way he enters our hearts: right in the middle of a big mess. Just like he didn’t look for a palace to be his birthplace and an earthly throne his dwelling, so does he not look for clean hearts to come into of perfect people who have it all figured out. It doesn’t matter if you are musical or not, just give your heart to Him in adoration. He is worthy of our worship every single day. m.youtube/watch?v=H0fkkUYIku0
